For our late Sunday lunch, the wife and I were stumped what to make. So we raided the pantry and realized we had all the stuff for Tuna Croquettes. If you're not familiar with the term, think crab cakes... but with tuna.
This is such an easy recipe, I even had Big help me out. You'll need:
2 - 5 oz cans Solid White Albacore tuna
3 tsp Dijon mustard
2 large eggs, beaten
1.5 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs
olive oil for sauteing
Tin foil
Combine all ingredients, but only 3/8 cup of breadcrumbs in medium bowl.
Divide mix into 8 rounds onto a pan lined with tin foil.
Put remaining bread crumbs in a pie plate. One at a time, flatten and coat each croquette with breadcrumbs on all sides.
Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a frying pan over medium heat. Make sure your oil is hot before you add your first croquette, or you'll end up with a really greasy result. Add the patties and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden.
Let cool on a pan with paper towels, serve warm.
You could serve these with tartar sauce, but they only lasted about 30 seconds before we devoured them.
